In addition to vindication, they’re getting a lot of attention for their Doctor Who-inspired doughnuts. They’ve received several mentions in national and international media, such as Reddit and, this week, in the English publication Metro.

“Anybody fancy a Doctor Who-themed doughnut? You’ll have to go to Kansas for it…” was the headline on a Tuesday story in Metro.

“And while you might have to go all the way to Wichita to sample one, we’re still impressed to see that they’ve made some effort to comprehensively cover the Doctor Who universe – with even the Weeping Angels getting a look in,” the publication said.

That caused a Facebook fan page for Scottish actor David Tennant, who played the 10th incarnation of Doctor Who, to post a photo and link to the story. As of this writing, the post had more than 58,200 likes and 10,744 shares.

Mallory and Carmody say several people connected with the show have commented publicly on the doughnuts.
